Re: [Pypentago-devel] Rating System

[Florian M. <flo...@ai...>]

You can still do the glicko workings and see if they work out. I think
the thing we lack most now is a decent user interface, the one we have
of course is okay, but sadly not more. I have recently played some
matches of Go on the KGS server, and I'm impressed on how much
functionality it has and how good the games look. I think we should aim
for something like this, with a list of games, a ranking curve if
possible and so on.
If you have some free-time you could try to do drafts for a new user
interface, scan them and mail them to me, so I can review them and see
whether it's possible or not.

Another thing I'd like to know: As far as I know you own a copy of the
Pentago board game, which I probably will too after today, but anyway,
what happens if you got 5 in a row after you set your stone, but
rotating any quadrant would make your opponent get 5 in a row too. Do
you win or not? Is it legit to win without rotating at the last turn,
that's the question in one sentence.

I overhauled the setup script, so it now puts all the stuff in
site-packages and creates scripts that call the so-called entry points
being pypentago.server.main:main() and pypentago.client.main:main().

One more thing, your server seems to have problems with the sqlite
bindings, I tried running a new version of the pypentago server, and I
got the following traceback: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/78972/. I
really hope you can solve this problem, as I think sqlite is best for
testing purposes, but in productive mode I would suggest using Postgres.

Best regards,
Florian Mayer
